00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:02.319
Welcome to our little show.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.400
There are some things that you should know.
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.800
We've practiced what we're gonna say, but it will go wrong anyway.
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:13.199
We've got the facts, we've got the charts, just not the social graces parts.
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.199
So settle in and press that play and let awkward lead the way.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.440
It's the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.920
It's the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.199
Welcome back to the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.160
I'm Amy.
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.559
I'm Gabriella, and I'm Lena.
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:37.840
And today we are gonna talk about just what's happened since we've been together because it's been at least a month, I think, since we've recorded a podcast.
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:38.320
Yeah.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:48.240
And we've all had pretty busy summers, but I wanted to start with um, you know, like I don't know, I don't know if I'm gonna call it a cringe of the week, but it was pretty cringy.
00:00:48.719 --> 00:01:00.479
I um I went on a first date on Sunday and I only matched with I matched with the guy a while back, but then I left the country, and then when I got back, I'm like, oh hey, do you wanna do you wanna meet up?
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:01.840
So we met up for coffee.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.920
He got extra points because he lives in Portland and he picked a Vancouver place to meet up.
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:08.719
That is nice.
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.040
That is very nice.
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:23.280
So um we go and I'm waiting out front, and I shot him a message that said, Hey, I'm out front, and uh he pulls up on a motorcycle.
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:30.719
And I have nothing against motorcycles, but it's like 70 plus degrees outside, and he's wearing full leathers.
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.000
So I'm like, okay, this is this is new.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.280
And he walks up to me and um I put my hand out to shake his hand, and he went in for a hug.
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.400
Okay, okay, okay.
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.200
Um, we go inside, we're standing in line to order.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:55.840
We're up to order, and Lena, he starts to unbutton his pants.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:01:59.519
What?
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:00.239
What?
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:08.879
We're standing at the counter ordering, and he unbuttons and unzips his pants and sticks his hand into the pants.
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.400
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:13.280
Stop.
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.960
Oh my god, that's unreal.
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.639
And I'm seeing this, right?
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.360
Like, I and I'm like, am I seeing this?
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:20.800
I've literally crying.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.800
And I'm looking

away because I'm like, this is not happening.
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:33.599
And then I realize what he's doing is his pants were the leather pants, his my his motorcycle leathers.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.000
Right.
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:41.199
And he had to undo them in order to get to his wallet, which was in his normal pants, right?
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.680
But his wallet was in the um front pocket of his normal pants.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:46.479
Oh, hell no.
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:55.280
So he reaches in his pants, and like I see him like digging and reaching for something.
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.080
Oh my god.
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:02.240
And I'm just like, I mean, I don't know, but the ick is real.
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:08.479
I mean, at that point I knew we were not having a second date.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.520
And we're standing there at the counter.
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:20.080
He's got his wallet out with his pants unbuttoned, just like hanging open at the counter.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.759
Oh my gosh, no.
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.520
And the the barista blessed her.
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.319
She's like, What are you guys up to today?
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.960
And I'm just standing there in silence.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.280
And he goes, Well, we actually just met two minutes ago.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.639
We're on the first date.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.879
And I'm just like staring at her.
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:40.719
Save me.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.520
And I smiled and tilted my head, like, yeah, yeah, we are.
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.360
It's pretty hard to believe.
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.639
But anyway, so yeah, that was my cringe of the week.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.840
Could you imagine if he had his wallet in his back pocket though?
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:54.719
Of his jeans?
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.199
He probably would have had to pull his pants down.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.000
Or it looked like he was like picking his butt.
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:14.879
Like, if he I don't know, I almost feel like the back one would be a little less like like maybe you'd be able to see what he was doing, but the way that everything was just on the you just you couldn't really tell initially what was happening, and it was just plan.
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.319
I you just don't normally see people unbutton and unzip their pants in the.
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.600
And I am one of those people.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:33.920
I don't know if anybody else is like this, but I don't even like like you know when men will like unbuckle their pants to like tuck their shirt in or something, or unbuckle their belt, you know, so they can tuck their shirt in.
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.319
That even bothers me, and I don't know why.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:37.759
That's an ick that you have.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:44.240
It is an ick that I have, and I this like took it to a whole nother level.
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.120
So that's my cringe of the week.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.959
God so funny.
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.839
That was a fabulous first date.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.519
Oh, there will not be a second.
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.120
Before you get into your uh your trip, your can I add to that?
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:00.720
You can absolutely add to that.
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.920
Do you have an update for us?
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:02.800
I do.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:13.439
So the last time we were all together, um, after, I think it was after we finished recording, I had you two um kind of look through my apps.
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.079
That's right.
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.879
Lena allowed us to uh match with people for her on the app.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:21.439
Yeah, she let me know.
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.439
I messaged people for her, yes.
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.879
Um, so update.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.000
I went on a date with Yay!
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.600
Um or not yay, I don't know.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.360
I'm gonna cry.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.360
Oh no! Was that bad?
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.160
I mean so you messaged a few people.
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.040
I did, yeah.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.360
Um one of them was very nice.
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.079
He kept asking me questions, he seemed very interested.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:50.800
Good.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:57.360
I knew, however, that he was interested because he had liked me several times on other apps before.
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.959
Oh and every time it's like a like on Bumble, I think it's called like a super swipe.
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.040
Super like or super swipe or something, yes.
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.040
And then on Hinge, it's like you can send like a rose.
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:10.240
Yeah, it's a rose.
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.879
Um so he did that on both.
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:19.040
So I knew he was interested in me, but you know, when I was and you'd always like ignored it before, and yeah.
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.959
Um, but yeah, he was really nice when we had started talking, so I kept talking to him.
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.800
He said, fine, whatever.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:30.959
We went on a date and um we made plans to go on a coffee date.
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:37.519
Um on the way there, I got caught in some traffic, I was a little bit late, so I texted him like, hey, I'm running a little bit late.
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:38.639
I'm so sorry.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.839
Um but I I should be there like I shouldn't be more than like five minutes late or whatever.
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.000
And he goes, Oh no, that's no problem.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.759
Um I can get your drink for you.
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.040
What do you what would you like to drink?
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.000
So sweet.
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:50.800
Love that.
00:06:50.959
--> 00:06:53.199
Um so I tell them just a cold brew, whatever.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.160
So I get there.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.879
So I want you to imagine this, okay?
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:04.399
This cafe, you walk in, take a left, and the cafe is kind of shaped like a hallway, so it's long.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.319
On the right side is the counter and the line where everyone orders.
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:16.399
On the left side, there is a table and then another table, and maybe another table, and then at the very end of the hallway is one last table.
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:28.079
So I walk in, I look down this hallway, and I see he's at the table at the end of the hallway, and um I start walking towards him.
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:42.800
Now, before I continue, I have to add, every time I meet somebody new, especially on a date, I freak myself out a little bit because I overthink how do I say hello?
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.480
Do I wave?
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.920
Do I shake their hand?
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:47.600
Do I go in for a hug?
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.360
Well, see, and sometimes it doesn't matter.
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.360
You go for a shake and they hug you anyway.
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:58.399
So, and but historically, I like I always freak out about that, but it works out in the moment.
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:05.040
Like we say hello, usually they'll go in for a hug, and it's fine, I don't mind it, I'll do the hug.
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.759
So, continuing on with this.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:14.639
I start walking towards him, he notices me, and he kind of fumbles, gets up, starts walking towards me.
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:22.560
And then we meet pretty much in the middle of this damn cafe where everybody can see.
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:28.319
And then we both start doing like a oh, uh, hi, uh, so nice to meet you.
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.680
Uh, uh, and we're kind of like doing this little dance of what he says we do.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:33.120
He's just as awkward as you are.
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:43.919
You've you've met your match, and we're doing this little dance, and then I'm like, oh god, oh god, and then my phone goes flying.
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.399
Oh no.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.360
And then he's like, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.440
And I'm like, oh no, I'm sorry.
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.320
It's okay.
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.200
Hold on.
00:08:53.360 --> 00:09:01.759
I go and pick up my phone, I get back up, and I go, hi, and just give him a little side hug, and we sit down.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:07.039
Um conversation was kind of awkward.
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:08.960
Um, I didn't love it.
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.240
Like, he was really nice.
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.240
Just didn't love it.
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.399
Um, we ended up uh at one point he was like, Oh, maybe do you want to maybe get up and just go for a walk instead?
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.919
And I was like, God, yes, take me out of this cafe.
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.559
Or everybody just saw it up drinking into the room.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.759
And they're all watching, and they're all going, Oh, those two are on a date.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.120
Yeah, exactly.
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.039
And I was oh my gosh, I needed to get the hell out of there.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.200
So I was like, Yes, please take me out of here.
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.559
So we went, we walked around, we had some conversations.
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:49.120
I kind of knew like I didn't want anything romantically with the guy, but he had mentioned a couple times about us maybe being friends if this doesn't work out.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.360
And in the moment I was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:58.080
Um, eventually he walks me to my car, I get in my car, and I went, Oh my god, I never want to see this guy again.
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.799
Like, once I was in my own space, I was like, oh god, I don't want to see this guy ever again.
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:19.039
Um so after some uh discussions with people whom I trust, um I crafted up a message um the next morning that said, like, hey, it was so nice to meet you.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:25.039
I'm not really feeling anything, but I I I wish you the best of luck with everything.
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:32.720
He immediately comes back with a text that says, Oh, thank you for being honest.
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:39.759
Um let me know if there's anything I did to make you feel uncomfortable, uh, but I would still really like to be friends.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.440
I don't have a lot of them.
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.840
Which then you feel bad.
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.840
I wasn't planning on texting back from there.
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.000
Um, but again, conversations with people whom I trust.
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.639
Um Who are these people?
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:04.240
I crafted up, well, I copy and pasted a message that somebody crafted up.
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:16.799
And uh so I said to him, if I I'm just gonna pull it up real quick because I just it's been a minute.
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:18.720
This is like two weeks ago already.
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.120
I mean, you've probably had a dozen dates since then.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.039
Oh, yeah, totally.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.559
I mean the fact that she still has his contact information.
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.120
I mean, she's still got the text she can like, you know.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:30.720
I have to pull it up for you guys.
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.000
Oh, that's too close to you.
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.519
I think I would have minded just screenshot it then.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:35.120
Yeah, right.
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.399
Um I said, no, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:40.879
I enjoyed meeting you, getting
to know you.
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.279
I just didn't feel the chemistry I'm looking for.
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.960
I don't think staying friends would be the right thing for me, but I really appreciate you asking and being so understanding.
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.799
Genuinely wish you the best.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.159
And then he calls me.
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.200
He responded again.
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.799
No, he responded back?
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:55.279
Yeah.
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.480
Immediately, like almost less than a minute after.
00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.120
Oh man.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.600
He was like anxiously awaiting your response.
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.240
Well, he was anxiously waiting for like two days because I didn't respond.
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.080
Like two days.
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:19.679
Um, he sent me this long message about how he's disappointed and he thought that we had a lot of similar interests, and how he saw us having a lot of fun together.
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:27.679
Um, but he um to be he said, to be fair, I didn't feel any chemistry on a date either, anyways.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.720
Oh you wanted to make sure you knew that.
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:31.200
Yeah.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.279
I went, oh, is that right?
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:36.879
Did you respond back?
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:37.840
Oh hell no.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.559
Okay, good.
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.279
Because I don't need that from you.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.799
No, absolutely not.
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:50.159
I think he was just hurt and just like when you said I don't think we need like being your friends isn't a good idea at the time.
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.720
I think he just was like, I don't want to be your friend anyway.
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.080
Yeah, pretty much.
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.120
Exactly.
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:55.759
Yeah.
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:02.080
So I just have to share that because you mentioned you shook the guy's hand, and I immediately Yeah, it reminded you of that.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.399
That's hilarious.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:14.399
So um after we recorded last, like that next weekend, Gabriella and I went to the Clark County Fair.
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:15.840
Oh my gosh!
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:25.120
And uh with some friends to see I Love the 90s concert, which, you know, I do love the 90s.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.440
Gabriella is a 90s girl till the end.
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.840
Vanilla Ice, Tone Lok.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.480
I also love Young MC Young MC.
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.399
And you were, you were I will let Gabriella tell that story.
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:51.120
She was not sitting with me in the audience by this point, and there were some people around me that were very um not my kind of people.
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.159
I'm just gonna put that.
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.679
So that was an awkward situation.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.200
Oh no, it was fine.
00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:03.120
I was thoroughly enjoying myself because of the experience that you were having, and then I got to film and take a I think I took a thousand photos.
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.000
I love it.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:12.799
So yeah, I will let you tell that story that it was a concert-turned epic, epic experience for you.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.480
So we were at the Clark County Fairgrounds.
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.799
Um, Tone Lok was singing something, he's like, Where are my ladies at?
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:31.759
And so um I told my friend, like, go, like, because we were kind of in the middle of the row, yeah, like where we were seated, and so like further we could go further away, but we were close up, like maybe four or five rows.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:48.559
Yeah, we were four or five rows from the front, so but we were in the middle of the row, so like people on either side of us, and obviously you'd want to go towards the center, not the out, because he's calling for the women, and my friend was like, Ugh, I'm like, go, go! Now, my my the girl that was sitting next to me is my son's fiance.
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.679
They had they were engaged the day before.
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.519
Love her, and um, so she's like, Yeah, let's go.
00:14:55.679 --> 00:15:05.840
So and my uh they they proceed to push, and I am like moving out of their way because I am not going with them on stage to be one of Tone Lok's girls.
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.559
I might or ladies or whatever he called them.
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.679
I think it was ladies.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.919
Yeah, I'm not a I'm not that kind of lady, but Gabriela is.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.799
So continue.
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:21.600
So if you guys remember, if you've been listening, you guys may have heard that I fell in Las Vegas and sprained my ankle.
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.320
So at the concert, I was in a boot.
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.320
So let's put that all into perspective.
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.320
So not a stylish boot.
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.200
We're talking a boot because she sprained her ankle.
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:32.799
So yeah, a medical boot.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:33.759
A medical boot.
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.440
Yeah, it's a medical boot.
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.840
So we are rushing the stage, and I'm moving as fast as I possibly can to get to to to go on stage.
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:47.200
Well, we we didn't get there in time, and so um they were telling us to go back to our seats.
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:58.720
Um, and Molly is uh my son's uh fiance, she's beautiful, very young and just cute as a button, and so she's close, she's so cute.
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:07.120
So she's she's standing like in front on the stage by the speaker, and I'm kind of like behind her, and then my other friend Kim is behind me.
00:16:07.440 -->
00:16:12.399
And I'm like, this is actually not a bad place to watch the rest of the concert, to be honest with you.
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:21.840
So we probably had like three or four security guards tell us to go sit down, and and Molly and I are like, we don't hear them.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.480
What are you saying?
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:25.440
We can't hear anything.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.960
No, I'm not English, yeah.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:41.759
Like so um, then like a stage manager comes down and is like talking to Molly, and so I was like, Oh no, we're like in trouble now.
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.399
And so she she turns around and she's like, Vanilla Ice wants us on stage.
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.840
And I'm like, What?
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.240
She's like, Vanilla Ice wants us on stage.
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:56.320
I'm like, let's go! So we went and Kim was behind and he's like, Oh no, only you two.
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.720
And so they made he's but they made Kim stay there and said, We'll get her later, like we'll take care of her later.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:19.759
Oh so um we start talking, and they're like, Yeah, we want you to be um the girls, like one's a polar bear and one's a clown, and you go out on stage and you get the crowd all riled up in costume, in costume.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.680
So remember, I'm in a boot.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.680
Oh my god! So Molly's like, you can be the polar bear, I'll be the clown.
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.880
And I'm like, okay.
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.559
So they're like the blow-up dolls, like you know what I'm talking about?
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.279
They have fans that make it really big or whatever.
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.640
So um, I'm super claustrophobic.
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:39.839
Oh my god.
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:45.359
And I can't have like things around my face, and so I suddenly I'm like, I tell Molly, I'm like, I don't know if I can do this.
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.319
And she's like, you can do it! And I'm like, okay, I can do it.
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:50.640
But I really didn't think I could do it.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:57.599
So um, it takes like a team to get poor Molly.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.720
She's like trying to get my boot through the little the opening.
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:10.799
The opening for your foot, yeah, trooper that she is, and um, so I get it on, and um we're just kind of like talking about it.
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.480
She gets hers on, and it's poor thing.
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.319
I can't really help her because now I'm in the suit and I don't have hands.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:24.720
Like I can like because I can't, like, whatever, and I can't zip up the back of myself because the zipper's like outside the like I can't do that.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:31.440
So um we had a problem zipping it up, so it's not like it's on the back of us, so I can't really like like zip up things.
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:38.079
So um Molly Molly, we're looking at it and I'm like, this isn't right, like it doesn't make any sense.
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:48.480
And so um the KJ or the sound guy, the the rapping guy, he um he's like you guys got it on backwards, it's like upside down, so just take it off.
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:50.160
Oh no, put it back on.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.160
She's like flipping around, and it's so hot.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:03.680
It was so hot, it was so hot that day, and so um we are now in there, and I'm like, I don't think I can do this because the fans aren't working, and if I put this on and I can't unzip it, I'm gonna freak out.
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:09.759
Yeah, and uh she have some ripping into the she-hulk.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:17.920
So um, so he got the fan to work, it blows up, and I'm like, okay, so they zip me up, and I'm like, oh my god, I can do this, I can do this.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.559
I'm freaking out a little bit, but I'm like, I can do this.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:28.000
Um, and so we are out to go out on stage, and so I got to be the polar bear, oh my god out on stage, and and Molly was the clown.
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:35.680
I'm not really sure you could really tell that with her outfit, like I don't know, but um, so we were out there dancing around and um Was she a blow-up thing too?
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.279
Yeah, she was too, and we were having such a good time.
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:45.200
Well, halfway through the when we're out on stage, and now mind you, there's other women out on stage as well.
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:45.599
Right.
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.480
So um the head of the polar bear starts to die.
00:19:50.640 --> 00:20:03.680
Oh no! And so it starts to go down, and my fan stops working, and I'm like instantly starting to panic, like instantly, and so I'm like, don't freak out, don't freak out.
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.359
So I um, but I feel a tap on me and he's like, come this way, and so he unzips me and I take it off real quick, and I was like, Oh my god, I'm so glad to get that off.
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:19.200
I like I didn't panic, I'm so proud of myself because I didn't panic, and um, I got it off, which takes another team for me to get the the polar suit off.
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:24.720
And then Molly sees me from across the stage and she's like, if she's getting that thing off, I am too.
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.799
So she comes running and she gets off.
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.880
But then all of the people there were so nice.
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:32.559
They gave us water to make sure we were hydrated, but he's like, go have fun.
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:35.119
So the rest of the time I got to be out there on the stage.
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.759
Molly and I got to be out there on the stage, and we were just happy.
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.960
For the entire time vanilla ice was on stage.
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.559
She was on stage, yeah.
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.599
So I mean he was rapping, we got a photo photo of him.
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:50.799
The drummer guy was so cool, he wanted photos with us, and he's like giving the peace sign and rock sign.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:52.079
So we had such a good time.
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.279
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:21:00.720
It was like I've never been on stage before with like a celebrity, so that was really fun, but it was very awkward because I'm in a boot.
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.839
And they're like, what happened to your foot?
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.200
Like, what's going on?
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:06.480
I didn't know you were in a boot.
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.160
And I'm like, it's fine, it's fine.
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.680
Should have been like, Oh, you want to know?
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.119
Here's our podcast.
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.319
I could have.
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.079
I could totally should have.
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:14.480
Yeah.
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.160
Missed opportunity.
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.720
I know, I know, you guys, I know.
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:20.960
She's already beat herself up about it.
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:22.880
So many times I have.
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.960
And even when I was on the plane coming from Vegas, they were like, What happened?
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.839
So I told them the truth, and they're like, You need to come up with a better story.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:38.079
So when we were in, I flew to Memphis, um, and I was we were no, we was in New Orleans.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:43.759
I flew to New Orleans and we went um down on Bourbon Street, and there was a guy, he's like, What happened?
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.920
Because I'm at this point, I'm in a wheelchair because it was crowded and I would been walking a lot.
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.240
So um I'm in a wheelchair and he's like, What happened?
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:51.440
And I said, I was running.
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:52.720
He's like, You were running?
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:54.720
I was like, Yeah, I was running in Vegas.
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:56.799
And he's like, And what were you doing?
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.039
Like a 10K or like what was the deal?
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.079
Yeah, you're They're running a marathon and mega thing.
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:04.400
In wedges.
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.119
I was running.
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.720
I was running from the cops.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.279
Oh my god.
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:11.599
And he's like, oh my god, are you serious?
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.640
And I was like, no.
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:15.759
And he's like, oh, you had me going.
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:16.559
That's a good story.
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:17.359
Stick with that one.
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.279
And I was like, dang it, I should have said that earlier.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.079
I should have gone, I should
have taken it a little bit further, but I didn't.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.480
I'm just not, I'm not a liar.
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:26.319
Unfortunately.
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.200
But yeah.
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.359
It's not lying, it's storytelling.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.759
Well, I mean a little bit.
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.279
Just embellish a little bit.
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:34.079
No big deal.
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.960
It was funny.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.279
But the next day I got like so many, like, were you at the vanilla ice concert?
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:40.640
Oh my gosh, yes.
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.839
I was getting those too.
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:50.480
Like, I was getting like screenshots of things, like posts and stuff on Instagram and Facebook, and people were going, is that Gabriella?
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:52.400
Were you on stage too?
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.200
And I'm like, Do I look like I am on stage?
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:02.880
At one point during this, uh, our friend Kim was over there, and I get a text from her while I'm sitting in the audience, and she's like, come over.
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.720
And I thought she needed me for something.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:06.799
So I worked my way over there.
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.559
It was before you were on stage.
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:11.200
I think um Tom Lok was still singing.
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.759
Oh, okay.
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.240
And uh she's like, You want to go on with me?
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.440
And I go, no.
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.880
Would you have gone on, Lena?
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:19.359
Yes.
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:19.759
Yeah.
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:20.720
Would you really?
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.240
Oh my god.
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:23.599
I was just like, nope.
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:25.200
That was a quick nope.
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.920
I mean, I don't know what I'd do up there.
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:32.160
If they gave me a polar bear costume, though, I definitely would have gone up.
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.759
1,000 person.
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.519
Yeah, if no one could see you.
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.359
Yeah, that's yeah, absolutely.
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.000
But the rest of the people on stage did not have it.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.279
They were just like dancing.
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:50.480
They were, which was really funny because there was one lady up there who was like trying to dance with me, and I think she thought I was like like a date, a professional person with like while you were in the suit?
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:50.720
Yeah.
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:53.680
And she was like trying to like grind up on me, and I'm like, lady.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.880
You're like, I am not.
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:56.160
You think I am?
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:57.839
I am a polar bear.
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.240
I am not what you're doing.
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:02.240
Lady, bestiality is not legal.
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.440
It's not okay.
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:04.160
It's not okay.
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.559
Yeah.
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.559
So oh my goodness.
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.599
So you said something about someone stealing something of yours on your trip.
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.160
Yes.
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:16.880
What?
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:17.759
Yes.
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:34.559
So I um after the fair, I actually went to New Orleans and flew to New Orleans, and because it was pretty soon after, um I wasn't healed all the way, like, and I just didn't want to be like um paranoid and my foot being all swollen and gross and stuff.
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:44.559
So a friend of mine suggested I bring a wheelchair because we'll be doing a lot of walking, and like if that happens, then you can always have you can always have your wheelchair to to lean on.
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:45.759
And I'm like, okay.
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:52.400
So I've never traveled with a wheelchair, like a personal wheelchair, and we were flying Delta to I think it was Salt Lake City.
00:24:52.480 --> 00:25:03.279
I can't really remember, but so I get there early in the morning, and I'm like, so um, I'm gonna probably need to have a little bit more time to walk down the aisle um of the plane.
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.160
Can I get that?
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:10.319
Absolutely, and then I go, so I have um this wheelchair that's my own personal wheelchair.
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.599
Like, how does it work?
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.160
Like, do tag it like luggage, yeah.
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.200
Like how how does it work?
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:21.440
And she's like, Well, on Delta, you can put it in the closet of the plane, which I didn't know that they had a closet.
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:22.799
There's a closet, okay.
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:30.960
I didn't know that they had a closet, or you can like put it underneath the plane so we can take it and put it underneath, like they would a stroller, or like last-minute luggage with a room for a little bit.
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:35.359
So it's just tag differently so that when we land, they're they bring it back up.
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.240
They bring it back up.
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:37.920
And I'm like, okay, either one's fine.
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.759
And she's like, Well, you need to tell me what you want to do.
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:46.079
And I'm like, Well, because I'm borrowing this, like it's not my own personal, let's just put it in the closet.
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:47.519
She's like, Okay, sure.
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:57.759
So we fly, I get to the front of the plane, I'm like, you guys have my wheelchair in a closet, and they're like, Oh yeah, we already put it up there, and so it should be there for you, and I'm like, okay.
00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:59.759
So I go to like the landing.
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:01.599
There's no wheelchair.
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.640
And so I'm like, there's no wheelchair, and they're like, Oh, they must have taken it all the way to the top.
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:15.119
And I'm like, So they made you limp all the way up to the top, but it was like the longest row uphill.
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:23.119
Like it was like this way, like to the right, then to the left, then to the right again before you get to the actual like gate, right?
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:24.559
So it was like so long.
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:29.920
So I get to the top, and um there, I'm like, so they said there was a wheelchair.
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.839
She's like, Oh no, honey, it's down at the bottom.
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:33.759
I'm like, it was not down at the bottom.
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.440
Yeah, I talked about it.
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:40.240
If it was, I would have been on it, and I would have she's like, Oh, you just had to wait there for it.
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:42.400
And I'm like, from they bring it from the bottom of the plane.
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.279
I'm like, no, it was in the closet, and they put it here.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.839
And so, mind you, that it's a connecting flight.
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:57.920
No, oh geez, and you and I have like in 10 minutes, they're gonna start boarding my new flight, and I obviously I need extra time to get to whatever.
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:02.000
So, um, I'm like, so um, I don't know where it's at.
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:16.720
And I'm thinking, I borrowed this wheelchair from somebody, so I'm starting to freak out a little bit, and she's like, Oh, so all of a sudden, it is like crisis at gate C25 where we were at.
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:22.960
So, radio security, like all these people are like running around, we're so embarrassed, we're this and that.
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:28.079
And I'm just like, I just need to find my my chair, yeah.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.079
So they did some talking and they found the chair.
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:40.319
So one of the gates, like when you have like a special boarding pass or whatever, they take you the people who wheel you around.
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.400
So he had the chair and he goes, Is this your wheelchair to someone?
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:46.240
And she said, Yes.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:58.160
Oh, he took that wheelchair and had taken her to her gate and unbeknownst to him, because he didn't know he said it, she said it was her chair.
00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.559
Right.
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:00.079
But who steals a wheelchair?
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.079
Like she did she need a wheelchair?
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.799
Well, I mean, she must have, but I mean, who steals a wheelchair?
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:07.599
Like, who says, Yeah, that's my wheelchair, knowing it's not yours.
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:15.279
So they somehow radioed who killed someone from gate C25, and then wait, did he bring it back?
00:28:15.440 -->
00:28:16.960
Yeah, but he was like an A something.
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:18.640
Like they had taken gone, yeah.
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.960
Like he had gone, so then he had to come back.
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.640
And so, mind you, like the people from Delta were amazing.
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.240
So there was like the old flight crew, they all stayed with me.
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.920
The pilot of the airplane stayed with me, offered me chop.
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.000
At one point, there was like 14 people, no joke.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:35.039
Just like oh Jesus.
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:43.599
Right, only so I'm like the rest of us, they just leave you at the gate.
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:44.880
I was like, oh my gosh.
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.160
And they're like, You're so calm.
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:48.480
You're so like, thank you for being so nice about it.
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.720
And I'm like, well, I mean, being upset isn't gonna make it get here any faster.
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.119
It's not any of your fault, right?
00:28:55.519 --> 00:29:00.319
Like it's the pilot, the pilot didn't offer to pick you up and carry you to your gate.
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.880
Well, they did take another wheelchair, like one of the airports.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:09.039
Yeah, and they pushed me to my next gate, but they waited with me at the next gate.
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:20.079
So the new the new staff that were gonna be on the flight that I was going to, yeah, they got told the whole story of it because I'm still waiting for my chair.
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.480
Right.
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:22.400
And so they're like, oh boy.
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.559
Like, so what'd you do with your chair this time?
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:33.440
So they were like, oh my gosh, it's like like because we're they're starting to clean the plane off, they're already gone down, and they're like, uh, I don't know if you're gonna get your chair in time.
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.079
Oh no.
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:36.319
And I'm like, well, we might have to hold the plane.
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.720
Like, I mean, I didn't really say that, but like, I was like, yeah, we're it'll it'll be here.
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:41.200
It'll be here.
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:43.119
Was your next flight adult to flight too?
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:43.440
Yes.
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:43.759
Oh, okay.
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:44.160
So yeah.
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:44.720
Yes.
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:50.400
So we get the chair, and um, they're like, okay, well, what do you want to do?
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:52.799
And I'm like, well, I really don't want it to be gone.
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:55.039
Like, I really don't want anyone to take it.
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.039
Yeah, I don't trust this anymore.
00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:58.400
So they're like, oh no, we won't.
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:00.319
We'll we'll we'll we're on it this time, right?
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:05.519
And he's like, but it will they will charge you a hundred dollars an hour to have it in the closet.
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:09.759
And I'm like, well, good thing for you, I can dance.
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:14.000
I'll dance for for a hundred bucks an hour.
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.160
I'll dance and you like chair up there.
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:19.279
The guy was laughing his ass off.
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:21.200
He was like, Oh my god, you're so funny.
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.039
Yeah, hell yeah, you're my girl.
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.599
Like I'm like, You said that to him?
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:28.160
Yeah, I'm like, well, good thing for you, I can dance.
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:29.440
Oh my god.
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:31.920
So he um, yeah, it was pretty funny.
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.480
And the girl behind me, she's like, Oh, she's my people.
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.519
Yeah, and the other guy was like, I got cookies, I'll give you cookies.
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.559
I'm like, excellent! Like, this is the best plan ever.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.720
Should have upgraded you to first class at that point.
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:43.839
But they didn't.
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:45.279
It was a full flight, I think.
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:46.079
I can't remember.
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.160
It seems like they're all always full now.
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:48.640
Yeah.
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:54.960
So, but anyway, we landed in New Orleans, and um the chair was I'm like, you guys still have my chair?
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.240
He's like, I did not take it out of the closet until I saw you.
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.720
Yeah, he's like, I didn't want to repeat.
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.920
He's like, We're gonna have we're gonna have meetings on this.
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:08.720
Yeah, yes, he's like, There will now be a new policy implemented.
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:10.400
So I'm that girl.
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.359
I literally are that girl for Delta.
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:15.359
But seriously, who steals a wheelchair?
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:20.079
Like, that's so like and he this is just me assuming positive intent here, because that's what I do.
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:25.680
She like, he probably said is this your chair, like, yeah, that's the like, yes, that's the one.
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.880
I'm the one that needs the wheelchair, not that's my chair.
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:34.240
I feel like she was like, Well, I needed to get to my gate, and I need didn't want to wait around.
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.279
And that was the only chair available, so yeah, it's my chair.
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.279
So what if it's not mine and the person who needs it actually needs it, needs it?
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:42.640
Thank god I was younger.
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.079
Could you imagine if it was like someone like my mom's age that like that's horrible?
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:50.160
Anyway, that's my
story.
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:54.400
I didn't have any awkward well, no, I guess I do have an awkward story from about my trip.
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:58.640
So I went to Croatia on a tour.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:11.200
It was through Flash Pack, it's for solo travelers, and so I went over there and met a group of there were 10 of us, complete strangers, and went on a tour.
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:13.039
So I paid for my own room.
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:19.599
A lot of people like apparently share room with strangers, which you know I'm not gonna do.
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.680
And it turns out everybody from our group paid for their own room.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:26.400
Oh that's funny.
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:45.359
So I mean, you know, uh, but about five days into the trip I got sick uh and I was vomiting and had gastrointestinal issues, and never in my life was I so thankful that I paid for my thing.
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.960
I cannot imagine.
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:48.480
I cannot imagine.
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.759
It was absolutely awful.
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:57.839
Um I tipped my uh cleaning crew extra.
00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:59.119
It was not fun.
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.279
I can't even imagine sharing a room with somebody.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:03.200
Oh my gosh.
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:13.599
Not good at all, but so were you safe for the like no, it lasted like I think probably about 12 hours.
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.000
I ended up staying in one day.
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:24.559
I didn't go out on the on the group activities because I was I hadn't slept at all the night, so I just stayed in my room in the air conditioning and watched Netflix.
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.200
But um, I joined them for dinner that night.
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:34.559
So it was about 24 hours total that I missed of the trip, but you know, but it was yeah, I didn't even go a second day with the sickness.
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.920
That's that's I didn't, yeah.
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:36.799
Pretty good.
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:38.640
Yeah, I don't I I don't know what it was.
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.160
I don't think it was food related.
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.039
Uh my guide thinks it was heat exhaustion because it's so hot.
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.160
It was like mid-90s and about 80% humidity.
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:55.759
So you walk outside and I'm like, I'm not a sweater, and my face was dripping like the entire time.
00:33:56.000 --> 00:34:01.279
Like, like, you know, it was it was miserable, but it was a wonderful trip.
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:10.400
Highly recommend people put themselves outside of their comfort zone and go solo traveling internationally, and at least once one day.
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:11.760
It was a good experience.
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:14.639
How was your recent travel, Lena?
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:16.159
Mine was good.
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:23.679
I just went I went back home to Hawaii, um, visited family and friends.
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:47.039
I my main reason for going was that my friend um has she she kind of runs a small business side business where she makes jewelry, and once a year they have this huge shopping like local vendors type convention, um, and it's like hundreds of vendors, and it's in this huge convention center.
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:49.920
People line up for hours.
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.760
They I think some people actually like sleep over to get it.
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.199
I don't understand that.
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.239
It's it's insane, like absolutely insane.
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.199
Um, but I get I got to work there.
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:07.840
Um it was a good time, super busy the first four days that I was there because I was doing that.
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:15.039
Um I actually did it last year too, but I literally just flew in to do that and then flew right back out.
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:24.960
So like I landed during the weekend, I worked over the weekend, and then Sunday we worked and I went straight to the airport, came back Monday morning and went straight to work.
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:25.519
Oh wow.
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.519
Um, never doing that again.
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:35.440
So this year I actually took the week after off, and so I spent the whole week spending time with my friends and my family, and that was really nice.
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.840
Um I played golf.
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:41.679
Are you a golfer?
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:42.719
Uh no.
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:43.440
Okay.
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:50.159
I was gonna say I too have golfed once in my life, and I will never do it again because I was absolutely terrible.
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:57.440
I I golf because my dad golfs, and that's just kind of like how we can spend time together.
00:35:57.679 --> 00:35:58.800
But it's it is fun.
00:35:58.880 --> 00:35:59.840
Like I like doing it.
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:05.039
It's just I don't think that I could really do it too much, and I realized this on this trip.
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.440
I don't think I could do it as a hobby myself because it's expensive.
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:11.119
It is very expensive.
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:30.800
See, yeah, you didn't know before because dad paid for it and because he was telling me about how much he pays and how what he pays is cheaper than what other people pay because um he gets a military discount, and so I went, so people will casually pay more than that to play golf?
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:33.440
And he was like, Yeah, like this is this is normal.
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.320
And I mean, mind you, it was a beautiful golf course.
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.320
It was at like right off the beach.
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:40.239
Um he It was in Hawaii.
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.880
I mean, yeah, he says that when Obama goes to play golf in Hawaii, that's the course that he goes to.
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.599
Oh nice.
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.199
So it was gorgeous, but expensive.
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:51.039
Um, but yeah, it was nice.
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:55.599
Um, I got some weirdly shaped tan lines that I showed you guys.
00:36:56.079 --> 00:37:06.639
When you say weirdly, you you have to put it in perspective that you put you put sunscreen on on a stick, and so you have these l random lines all over your body.
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.800
So it's the sticks of sunscreen that people buy for their children's faces.
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:20.480
Yeah, it's so last year when I went with my dad, he had a full like regular bottle of sunscreen in his golf bag that just it seems like it lived in his golf bag.
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.519
So I assumed he still had that in his bag.
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:26.800
Because before we left for the day, I was like, Do you have sunscreen?
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:28.400
And he goes, Yeah, I have sunscreen.
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.039
So I was like, Okay, and I trusted that man.
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.679
And so we got him.
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.039
We went to the golf course, and I was like, Can I borrow your sunscreen?
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:43.920
And he pulls out this tiny little stick of freaking sunscreen.
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.800
I was like, Well, I gotta do with it what I can.
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:53.760
So I colored it on, and I say colored because it literally looks like I colored something very poorly.
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:54.639
Oh my goodness.
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.400
Like if you had we we need to post pictures at some point when we get around.
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.760
Because you need to take pictures, and I need to show pictures of me in the polar suit.
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:08.960
She looks like um like you've got stripes on your on your arms and legs.
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:10.480
Sometimes it's wavy.
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.320
Like on your legs, it's kind of like nothing.
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:16.719
Drawn pictures on my body and it would have come out perfect.
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:17.440
It would have.
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:20.000
I mean, it's good evidence that the sunscreen works.
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:20.400
Yes.
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.800
I did tell my mother that I said, you know what?
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.559
The sunscreen works great.
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.679
Um I did like I applied it with the stick and then I rubbed it in.
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.239
Um, clearly the rubbing in does nothing.
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:38.320
Because exactly where I applied it is exactly and the only places it worked.
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:45.920
Um so for I will not be wearing any short sleeves or shorts for the foreseeable future.
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:48.480
Um, it's going to be winter, so yeah, okay.
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:49.599
Winter is coming.
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:50.480
Yeah.
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.239
Um it's a matter of week.
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:53.920
Little Game of Thrones reference there.
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:54.800
Winter is coming.
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:56.159
I've never even watched it.
00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:59.440
